Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
Results after wet sanding (1500) the outside of this knife and doing a 3hr white vinegar soak of the blades!! Wanted to knock the edges of the Micarta down some and satin finish the bolsters. I am happy how it looks!!

Very nice looking knife, John. The vinegar worked well. I have not tried vinegar on any blades, but I have got great patina by forgetting to rinse the blade after cutting fruit.

Thank You Mel.
I have done that for years on most all of my carbon steel blades. John

I like onions, so they are my go to patina choice. Pretty cool this one is carbon steel.

Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
I did it again. 
I liked the 1st one so much I purchased another one with a pocket clip. I have to stop reading all the posts. It makes me want one. I have too many knives already I will never use them all. Well the one good part about knife accumulating it's a lot cheaper then Guns.

That's why they call us collectors (or sometimes accumulators. Collectors have focus.).

What?? Could you say that just a little louder? I don't get to hear that very often.
